Get a cheap cambelt change on your Audi with one of our cambelt specialists in Morpeth.

Cambelt replacement (or 'timing belt replacement') according to your manufacturer's schedule is essential - as a snapped belt can cause major engine damage. However, replacement can come at a price, which is where our 11,064 garages come in!

It is often cost-effective to replace your Water Pump at the same time.

The service I received was first class. This is a family run business that treats its customers like extended family. Chris picked my car up from work and left a courtesy car for me should I need it. The job was completed entirely to my satisfaction and the management and staff are so friendly and utterly professional. I popped into the garage the next day with a separate minor issue with my car and Chris sorted it out on the spot and no charge was made. I'd recommend this garage to anyone without hesitation. Thanks John and Chris.

Having my vehicles repaired usually fills me with dread, as the final bill is often a lot more than expected. I had part of my exhaust repaired after requesting a quote from RMC, so I knew exactly how much the repair would be. As it happens, it was £80 cheaper than the competition
On arrival, I was greeted and shown what the repair to my vehicle would consist of. Everything that was agreed, was carried out by Lee and his very competent staff. To be honest, this experience could not have been any better and I left feeling very satisfied.
If you are looking for a professional outfit to look after your vehicle, then give Lee and his team a try, you certainly won't be disappointed.

Excellent job, not a well known branch but very knowledgeable, don’t be put off. I’ve always gone through main dealer but as car is out of warranty now saved a fortune. Arranged a day for work carried out, Work was done professionally and on day to exact quote. These guys aren’t a big high street name but carried out the same professional standards. Would definitely recommend and use again. Only difference was my car wasn’t valeted after. But given the service I got off [email protected]&# C#%@k last time it looked like they had washed with a dirty rag. Well done Pitt stop excellent job.

Peter, SEAT Alhambra

Found and rectified another garages mistakes/charged the price quoted /I even got picked up to collect the car couldn’t rate this place hi enough

I would definitely recommend TDL for many reasons- firstly I rang on a Friday morning and they fitted me in later the same morning! I was shown step by step the process of regenerating the air con as well as being given valuable advice regarding its use in the future. Coffee (as promised on the phone!) arrived immediately and despite arriving early for the appointment, my car went straight in (literally!) to be hooked up. Very friendly staff, family run business who operate a professional service ,with reasonable prices and even pick up and deliver your car if requested. I will certainly be calling again for other quotes and envisage I would use them again in the future with confidence! Thanks Trevor, Trudi and the team!

What is a Cambelt?

The cambelt helps your engine run efficiently by making sure its valves open and close in sync. The cambelt ensures your engine parts run in harmony, keeping the timings just right to make the engine as efficient as possible.

+

Where is the Cambelt located?

So, where is the cambelt exactly? This depends on your vehicle:

In front wheel drive vehicles the cambelt is usually on the left hand side of your engine

In rear wheel drive vehicles the cambelt is usually at the front of the engine, usually protected by a plastic cover

+

How much does a Cambelt Change cost?

While the rubber Cambelt itself costs very little, there is a certain amount of work and expertise involved in fitting it and ensuring the engine's timing is set correctly. Cambelt change costs vary, ranging from £300-£600. The price will depend on:

The make and model of your vehicle

Your location

Your mechanic or garage

+

What are the symptoms of a worn Cambelt?

There are many signs which point to a problem with your cambelt including:
High pitched, whirring engine sounds
Juddering when the engine is on
Difficulty starting up your vehicle
Spots of oil or coolant on your cambelt

+

What happens if your Cambelt breaks?

If the cambelt breaks it could cause serious internal damage to your engine which can be very expensive or even impossible to fix.

+

Should I change my Water Pump and Cambelt at the same time?

Your garage may have recommended a water pump change at the same time as your cambelt change. This is because both parts are located in the same area and typically become worn out at the same point in a vehicle's life. Changing both parts at the same time can save on future labour costs.

What is a Cambelt?

The cambelt is a rubber belt which controls the timing of a vehicle’s internal combustion engines. It is vital in the process of making the vehicle run smoothly as it also ensures the crankshaft and camshaft rotate in synchronisation.

A snapped cambelt is uncommon however tension issues are more widespread.

If the belt is too loose it will end up whipping around inside the engine which will cause a variety of knock on effects and if the belt is too tight it will put a strain on the bearings of the cogs it's fitted to.

A tight belt will cause a whining noise to be emitted from the engine so if you hear this sound make sure to book a repair as soon as possible. You shouldn’t wait until this happens though, as the damage caused by a faulty cambelt will end up costing you even more money in repairs.

Signs that your Cambelt needs Replacing

A squealing noise can be heard when starting the vehicle

Starting issues

A glazed or glossy look to the belt

Cambelt Replacement prices

As you will see in the FAQ section and video above, the cost of a cambelt repair can vary depending on the vehicle and garage. The biggest cost associated with this job type will be the labour itself.

This is because the parts are based deep within the engine and getting to them takes time. The components themselves won’t cost you a huge amount as they are not complex so don’t be surprised to see labour costs making up the biggest part of the bill.

Even if your cambelt doesn’t completely break its important to keep an eye on the component as per the instructions provided by your cars manufacturer, if you leave it for too long, the belt could snap and cause catastrophic engine failure.

The cambelt will need replacing at some point, usually around the 30,000 – 50,000 mile mark but make sure to consult the vehicles owner’s manual to double check as it may vary depending on the vehicle.
